gets the job done, but has some pain points.

June 16, 2025

This course covers everything it needs to, and I was happy to hear it is majority women and minority owned. The material is presented in an easily digestible way.

At the same time, the AI voice is grating to me, it is distracting and sometimes messes up pronunciation, making the material more confusing than it needs to be. Also, sometimes review questions are asked about material that is not yet covered, specifically in the section about different pathogens. Lastly, please stop spreading the misinformation that MSG is a dangerous additive, this is and has always been untrue and racist, and has been debunked over and over.
